Racle Inc. acquires shares of SAITAMA KNØS UNITED's operating company

Racle Inc. (Headquarters: Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, Representative Director: Fumihiro Nagashima) acquired shares of KONOSU CITY FOOTBALL CLUB Inc., the operating company of the soccer club "SAITAMA KNØS UNITED," on June 15, 2026. With a voting rights ratio of 67.1%, the company has become a subsidiary.

Furthermore, to coincide with this new start, the operating company name has been changed to **"NO-SU Inc."**

SAITAMA KNØS UNITED is based in the central and northern Saitama regions, centered around Konosu City and Kitamoto City, and is working towards becoming "Saitama Prefecture's third J.League club." The club is actively engaged in regional revitalization and youth development through sports, including operating a soccer school, participating in community events, and collaborating with government and corporations.

This share acquisition is not merely a capital investment but was realized due to the shared vision of Racle Inc. and SAITAMA KNØS UNITED to be "an indispensable presence in the community."

The Meaning Behind "NO-SU Inc."

The company name "NO-SU" embodies a sense of unity with the club name "KNØS (North)" and a desire to contribute to the development of the central and northern regions (North) of Saitama Prefecture, including its hometown of Konosu City.

Additionally, in Konosu City, many hiragana names such as "Kounosu" and "Nosu" are affectionately used in facility and event names. By incorporating this locally rooted sound into the company name, we express our wish to be a company that is familiar and loved by the local community.

The club and the operating company will work as one, grow with the community, and aim to be a source of pride for the region.

Racle Inc., as a partner in co-creating the future of the region, has contributed to the local community through the preservation and utilization of cultural properties, primarily through its buried cultural property excavation survey business.

A company that protects culture and a club that energizes the community through sports. While seemingly different fields, the desire to provide value to the region and support those who take on challenges is common.

Moving forward, through NO-SU Inc., we will further promote regional revitalization and next-generation development by not only improving athletic performance but also by engaging in community contribution activities centered on sports, culture, and education, supporting children's challenges, and collaborating with government agencies, corporations, and local organizations.

Racle Inc., together with SAITAMA KNØS UNITED, aims to realize "Saitama Prefecture's third J.League club," and through the power of sports, deliver dreams and pride to the region, contributing to the further development of Saitama Prefecture.
